It allows you to swing the alternator in order to tighten the belt down. In other words you don't run a tensioner and the belt tension is adjusted like an old school belt setup. I only run an alternator so it works out pretty nice plus eliminates the weight of the factory bracket an any other useless pullies.

I would assume because the fluid is being compressed w nowhere to go in the one direction. Maybe drain the rack and run it wide open w no fittings like foggedz did. May turn easier.
Open the rack up, cut off the hydraulic seal, put it back together and weld or RTV the ports shut. That way you aren't fighting hydraulic pressure. My rack is done like this and drives fine on the street. Much less effort then a looped rack
